From the imagination of J.R.R Tolkien comes another fantasy epic set in the Lord of the Rings universe, Guardians of Middle Earth. Guardians of Middle Earth is the latest game to join the increasingly popular MOBA genre. Combining intense player vs. player combat with in-depth strategy, on-the-fly character progression and iconic Lord of the Rings characters, Guardians of Middle Earth is set to take the PC world by storm. Guardians of Middle Earth was originally only available as a downloadable title on the PlayStation 3 however the developers recently announced an upcoming Steam release that will give PC players their first opportunity to sample this exciting new MOBA game.
A shadow has engulfed Middle-Earth and the greatest armies of the Third Age have come together to prepare for the inevitable battle to follow. Pick up your swords, ready your staff and prepare for battles of epic proportions as you fight for control of Middle-earth with the most powerful heroes from the biggest fantasy franchise in history.
As with many of today's popular MOBA games Guardians of Middle Earth provides players with an avenue for intense 5vs5 combat against other players, and for the first time, AI opponents. This means there will always be opponents waiting to take you down.
Another first for Guardians of Middle Earth is supported VOIP. This is the first MOBA game to offer players instant, high-quality communication via voice thanks to in-game systems and features.

Guardians of Middle Earth is an amazing MOBA in its own right but what makes it truly special is the characters that inhabit the Lord of the Rings world. Players can expect to enter battle as dozens of iconic Lord of the Rings characters such as Frodo, Bilbo, Legolas, Sauron, the Witch-King, Galadriel, and many, many more.
